Biowrap

01. The additive is an inert organic additive that is a food source for microbes. The additive has no effect on the plastic molecule. Only when the plastic is disposed to a microbe rich landfill, does the consequence of the additive begin to show its benefits. 04. No microplastics are formed as the enzymic action of the microbes removes atoms off the polymer chain, they do not break the chain up into short segments such as an oxo- degradable chemical additive does. 02. The inclusion of the additive has no impact on the recyclability of the plastic product along with conventional plastics. The additive is an inert component and sits along side the polymer molecule until naturally occurring microbes are present to digest it. 05. The plastic will biodegrade (up to 90% faster than traditional plastic) to a humus-like material which is a natural plant fertiliser and biogas. 03. The plastic product has no shelf life issues that are any different to the same conventional product. This is because the additive is an inert food source and has no impact on the plastic molecule itself. 06. Allows landfill operators to commercially capture the biogas given off and use it to create energy. Plastic containing our additive will normally biodegrade during the typical lifetime of the landfill as opposed to traditional plastics which may take 100’s of years. We are proud members of the Sustainable Business Network and Waste Minz who are organisations making an effort to improve our environment. Biowrap is proud to bring an innovative solution that helps combat plastic waste in New Zealand. We Care FEATURES OF OUR BIOWRAP PRODUCTS ARE: A quick quote from CEO Matt Emerson “The purpose of the Biowrap additive is as a back stop for plastic disposal. All encouragement is made to recycle or reuse the plastic as much as possible. Ultimately however all plastic will be disposed of. Those products that end up in a landfill and contain the Biowrap additive, will biodegrade away, converting their internal energy back to a form that can be reclaimed by commercial landfill operators.”
